- Meta-analytical estimates are based studies in the following cities:
- Mediterranean cities: Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Valencia, Turin, Milan, Lubljana
- North-continental cities: Prague, Budapest, Zurich, Paris, Helsinki, Stockholm, London, Dublin
- Based on climate and mortality data for the period 1990-2000
- Exposure assessment: daily maximum apparent outdoor air temperature (nearest airport weather station of each city)
